when did YOU build YOUR first hut?

yes, another post about letter of recommendation. i love that series. thank you, new york times magazine. from the letter of recommendation about the youtube series primitive technology and its creator, “the Man”:

Compared with most internet stars, the Man is also unusually reticent. He never gives his name. (I think of him simply as the Man.) And a close reading of the comments section reveals only that he lives in Queensland, Australia; that he built his first hut when he was 11; and that he used to make a living mowing lawns.
